Can you give an example of what you'd like to see in the EULA/TOS? Especially since your analogy to 'murder' is not helpful: Webster defines murder as "the crime of unlawfully killing a person especially with malice aforethought" - which leaves open the question: what is malice?<br /><br /><br />If somebody is looking for a clarification along the lines of "no more than 2 server commands within 0.7812 seconds", then they are sadly misguided.<br /><br /><br />I can give you suggestions for your other two questions though.<br /><br /><br />Why now? Because they made up their mind, and feel that they have the technology to catch input-replicators.<br /><br /><br />Why? Because they don't want input-replicators as customers.<br /><br /><br />I'm guessing, of course.Druur Monakhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-59923006986137145642014-12-09T16:44:18.617-06:002014-12-09T16:44:18.617-06:00agreed.

In the end, I just want the rules we all play by to be clear enough to not cause major greay areas, and for those rules to be enforced in a way that doesn't cause needless space lawyering every time something happens.

It's pretty easy to support CCP's decision if you already agree with it. And I think that is what we have so many doing here. We have a vocal contingent of players so caught up in the ruling going their way that they overlook how we got here in the first place. ISBoxers didn't make this a multi-year issue, CCP did.<br /><br />For me this has never been about ISBoxer (used generically). It's been about CCP clearly defining what is not allowed and then enforcing that set of rules in a standardized way. Instead, they want ambiguity and wiggle room and "flexibility" and the masses nod their head that flexibility is required to respond to evolving means. Nope. Murder is bad. I don't care if its with a gun, an axe or sharks with fricken laser beams on their heads. Sometimes flexibility is good, especially when you aren't sure what you're trying to do. But if they know they don't want players doing something specific, they don't need flexibility. ISBoxer isn't harassment. They don't need the same level of wiggle-room in dealing with it as they do with harassment. Worse, flexibility combined with ambiguous enforcement isn't good for any of us, even if today we happen to agree with which direction the pendulum has swung.Dirk MacGirknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-942059813481083566.post-86028667962561709122014-12-08T09:20:45.708-06:002014-12-08T09:20:45.708-06:001-50 will be ok.
